Ok guys...pls don't bash me on this! I may say something from Aryaman's side!đ
Ok somewhere I feel that there is a difference between the kind of friendship that Nandini and Navya had...Nandini and Dhruv had...Kabir and Nandini had...Abhimanyu and Nandini had... Nandini and Manik had...and...the kind of friendship Nandini shares with Aryaman.
(1) Friendship between Navya and Nandini- No deep discussions. It was always like two friends who are totally getting excited around something and having some fun time together. Navya is not a very brainy kind of girl...she was more into whims of the moment type. So Navya never discussed too deep things with her and she hid a lot of things from Navya too...specially the fact that she was friends with Manik.
(2) Friendship between Nandini and Dhruv- To Nandini Dhruv was somebody who was sweet among the evil lot of Fab 5!đ So she was dependent on him to a certain extent as she felt that the only air of relief at that point in SPACE was Dhruv. So she connected with him on that level. There also Dhruv had a romantic interest in Nandini.
(3) Friendship between Kabir and Nandini- To Nandini at many points, Kabir was like her secret-keeper. It was same when it came to Manik too! Kabir was the most dependable among all the members of Fab 5 when it gets to Nandini. With Kabir Nandini was bold enough to share her thought that Soha could perhaps be dangerous. Manik was the impulsive kind of person ...so he wouldn't even listen. He would say that I will take care of myself. But eventually it was Kabir who helped Nandini to a great extent in saving Manik from Soha!đ Manik didn't mind Kabir's equation with Nandini as he knew that he could trust his friend for not having any feelings for Nandu!đ
(4) Friendship between Abhimanyu and Nandini- Abhimanyu was a friend who was cool, calm, positive and full of cheerfulness. So she felt as if she could share everything she wanted to with him. Even about Manik...she was able to share with Abhimanyu. So yes...next to Kabir, Abhimanyu had a close relation with Nandini as to friendship...clear of romance! Manik didn't initially like Abhimanyu's equation with Nandini also!đ
(5) Friendship between Manik and Nandini- If we think carefully..the biggest reason why Nandini thought of making Manik a friend at first was not just because he was a good friend to Fab 5...but also coz of their growing intense feelings towards each other...which even went to the extent of crossing the line of kissing to something more...like in the scene where Nandini asks Manik "U know Manik..kal raat agar knot khulta tho we could've crossed a line"~ Nandini suggested to Manik friendship which Manik didn't approve of...because he felt that they cannot be friends actually. But though I loved the kind of romantic-friendship Manik and Nandini shared...that friendship was for the sake of keeping a curb on Manik! I mean...that friendship relation calmed Manik to look at Nandini objectively as a friend. He put brakes on himself..even when he wanted to take the intimacy one step further. But then...the biggest question that I would put forth is...all through Nandini was scared of Manik. I mean...she didn't trust Manik ever enough to go and tell her feelings completely to him. Even the story of Aryaman got revealed finally when Aryaman himself revealed it. Nandini was scared..hesitant of Manik's anger. Usually if we are totally friends with someone...we are most comfortable in a friendship where we are able to share each and every feeling of ours.
Take for instance the way now Nandini is scared of how Manik will react when he sees Nandini's intimacy with Aryaman. Somewhere...in the friendship that Manik and Nandini has...Nandini is unable to totally open upto Manik and say "Look Manik...please don't feel insecure...I don't have anything going with Aryaman. Aryaman has become a good friend the past few months...and I cannot totally abandon him suddenly as a friend and be only connected with you"
If Nandini says such a thing to Manik...she knows what Manik's reaction would be. Even with regard to Maddy...Nandini is unable to share her thoughts completely about Maddy with Manik...because Manik doesn't want to know the equation between Nandini and Madhyam. Manik just looks at things as how it is. He believes in what he sees. He sees Madhyam trying to tamper with Fab 5's songs and he won't listen to Nandini on that. In such a situation...she tries to contact Aryaman. Here Aryaman is like an outlet to which she can direct her worries. She knows that Fab 5 will stand by Manik. So she should talk to an outsider of Fab 5 about her worries.
(6) Friendship of Aryaman with Nandini- Aryaman first wanted to win the trust of Nandini ever since the whole Soha revenge thing happened. Maybe his guilt trip made him want to do extra to make it up to Nandini. He first tried to harm Manik and in all that he sort of used Nandini midway and Nandini's protective nature..perhaps attracted Aryaman at that point too. Fab 5 was busy...Aryaman had no other jobđ so he went after Nandini trying to console her. Maybe its Aryaman's calm attitude and his style of speaking...which made Nandini feel relaxed. Aryaman is not as funny as Kabir...but somewhere talking to him perhaps made Nandini feel comfortable. She could share everything with him and Aryaman who himself felt Manik won't return perhaps tried to make Nandini also think the same way.
His only fault is that...his thought that Manik won't return...made him become a closer friend to Nandini and his expectations grew to such an extent that he fell in love with her secretly. But Nandini doesn't realize that Aryaman has such a feeling to her...because Aryaman acts like a friend around her. Aryaman is therefore sharing his secrets with other friends...just like Nandini shares her feelings with Aryaman instead of with Manik. Nandini knows that if Manik and Aryaman stand against each other...the one who will back off from a fight will be Aryaman. So she finds him more dependable/comfortable as a friend.
We always have this one friend with whom we share feelings partially...and another friend with whom we will share a bit more. Manik ke gusse se Nandini ko pehle bhi darr lagte the..ab bhi lagte hai. Yes Manik is a good friend...as in he is dependable, protective...but he is angry young man and like a volcano that may explode any moment! So Nandini is even now scared of that side of him. Manik has leadership qualities, he takes up initiatives, but he is impulsive too. Nandini shares her feelings and thoughts with somebody who will sit back and listen and in that way she is dependent on Aryaman...
This is just my POV...I felt that way with regard to all friendships. We must remember that Nandini first had a romantic connect with Manik and then a friendship which was formed much later on. Nandini's knows Manik's moods more and hence she is reluctant. But that is where the beauty of MaNan relationship lies...somewhere...she has a slight tension if Manik will act impulsive and she tries to always keep him calm. đł
Like Manik said once...he will stand by his friends anytime...as in by Fab 5 to protect them...but he expects Nandini to be his shining star always and to not allow him to return to the darkness from which he came out after he met her. He doesn't want to return to being the monster Manik..the devil he was before..once again. So he expects Nandini to help him control his anger and keep his monster part cooled down!đđ
